Episode 10: Running 1000km in Australia for Dallaglio Rugby Works Charity
A very candid discussion of Simon’s journey to this challenge of running from Brisbane to Sydney, 1000km, in 14 days. We find out about the charity, Dallaglio Rugby Works, and its great work to safeguard young men excluded from school for a variety of reasons. You can also find out about the Atacama Shoe Dryer from Save Our Soles foot care company. Future information will come out about this in future episodes, when we review the product.
In this very special episode, we caught up with Simon Dent, an ultra runner and entrepreneur from Save Our Soles Foot Care company. He spoke to us about his running history, how he came to be involved in a 1000km challenge running from Brisbane to Sydney over 14 days for Dallaglio Rugby Works and Save Our Soles' flagship product, the Atacama Shoe Dryer.
Such great collaborations from Canterbury NZ, the British and Irish Lions Rugby Team, Save Our Soles, Dallaglio Rugby Works, Veloforte and Windsor and Eton Brewery, making all of this possible.
